All iWork apps can export to PDF -- why not do that instead, and send the resulting file to your Windows correspondents? That certainly would be much less confusing to them than sending a raw iWork package and have them dig around in it.

I think the point is that if you end up with a Pages file on a machine that lacks iWork (whatever type of machine that is) that by using this hint you can still gain some level of access to that file's contents.
